Community Energy in Switzerland
By supporting local energy communities in Switzerland, you can benefit from clean, affordable power and expand our country’s solar-energy capacity.
Here Comes the Sun
More than half of the 9.6 million roofs in Switzerland could be used for solar panels. This would help us meet over 40 percent of our annual electricity demand.
When citizens get together in energy communities to own and produce power themselves, the financial benefits stay local. It also helps shift our power supply to one of the least damaging forms of energy for our planet—solar.
Support the development of solar energy in Switzerland today.
Join an energy community. Invest in one. Or build your own.
Get Involved
Together, we can restore power to the people and bring the benefits of clean energy home.
Join or Invest in Community Energy
The community-energy movement in Switzerland is just beginning to develop. Becoming a member of an energy community is the best way to invest your money in a citizen-led power future, but there are funding opportunities outside of a membership.

Build Your Own Energy Community
If you’re interested in starting your own energy community and can’t find a project in your area, you can get advice from others who have done it so you can set up your own. There are many organisations and people in Switzerland who specialize in establishing community-energy projects.
Become a member of the Swiss Association for Citizen Energy
By becoming a member, you will support an association that is not only concerned with the development of renewable energies, but also works on energy efficiency and energy sobriety solutions, because the best energy for the climate is the one we do not use.
